Eugene Vinitsky: As always my rule is write fast with minimal editing, so forgive the mistakes. They at least prove minimal LLM involvement.

angela zhou: very nice and interesting study! To be fair though the algorithms to the benchmarks are also well-known in the literature. maybe some are paywalled
Eugene Vinitsky: Yeah, I think the main takeaway is more that if you're able to formalize the problem, which of course is already somewhat a task for experts, you can get quite far away after that falling back on L…

Eugene Vinitsky: The main reason AI companies went with the obviously bad PR strategy of “AI will take all jobs“ is that they believe it and it worries them

Ryan Moulton: Paying for internet content without putting a paywall in front of it is still, 40 years later, the central problem with the internet that remains unsolved.
Ryan Moulton: ~All media are non-rivalrous. There is no physical or technical reason to ever restrict access to any of it, except that we don't otherwise have any means to pay the creator.
